Training

Our training courses

Over the term of their research fellowship, we offer AMARI fellows a range of training courses to develop their skills. This contributes to the success of their fellowships and sets them up for long-term career success as mental health researchers and leaders.

We offer all of our PhD and post-doc fellows the following training packages:

Training of trainers

We have begun to expand our range of courses to include 'training of trainers' courses, which are vital to ensure sustainability of research skills in project centres. Our first training of trainers session - on systematic literature reviews - was conducted in May 2018 by Helen Jack of Harvard University.

In 2019, we will be expanding the range of train the trainer sessions to encompass sessions from the ACES course on career development skills.

The African Mental Health Research Initiative (AMARI) is part of the Wellcome Trust's programme for Developing Excellence in Leadership, Training and Science (DELTAS) in Africa. AMARI's overall goal is to build an Africa-led network of future leaders in mental, neurological and substance use (MNS) research in Ethiopia, Malawi, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
